Though the 26-year-old singer did get two Grammy nods for Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album for 'Shape of You' and '÷' (Divide), respectively, many fans were disappointed that he didn't appear on the list for any of the major categories, including Record, Song, or Album of the Year.
Coldplay will battle it out with Sheeran in the pop vocal album category, while they are also nominated for best pop duo/group performance for their collaboration with The Chainsmokers on 'Something Just Like This.'
Jay-Z leads this year's nomination slate with eight surrounding his '4:44' album, followed by Compton's Lamar with seven and R&B-pop singer-songwriter Bruno Mars with six.
Album of the year nominees are Jay-Z's '4:44,' Gambino's 'Awaken, My Love!,' Lamar's 'Damn.,' Lorde's 'Melodrama' and Mars' '24K Magic.'
Contenders for record-of-the-year, which honors vocal performance, songwriting, production and engineering, are Gambino's 'Redbone,' Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's 'Despacito' (which also featured Justin Bieber), Lamar's 'Humble.,' Jay-Z's 'The Story of O.J.' and Mars' '24K Magic.'
Drake's More Life will also be absent, as he did not submit it.
The Grammys themselves are slated for January 28, 2018; in the midst of the US awards season. The eligibility period for releases was October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017.
James Corden hosted the 2017 event, which made Adele the first artist in history to win all three general field awards in the same ceremony twice.
She won five trophies overall on the night, but notably claimed Album of the Year should have been given to Beyonce instead.
Next year's Grammys will be the 60th in its history.
